Hi,
I'm contacting you because I believe that the yahooKeystats function
in the current fImport package (Version: 2110.79) is broken. It
appears that Yahoo changed their HTML slightly which has caused the
function to break. Several months ago, I attempted to edit the
function and managed to get it working. I posted those changes to the
R-SIG-FINANCE list in case anyone else was interested.

Since then, I started using the XML package for the processing of HTML
and went ahead and rewrote the yahooKeystats function using this
package. I was wondering if you would be interested in using the
function I wrote in place of the broken yahooKeystats function? I
believe this version might prove to be easier to maintain over time.
Best regards,
James Toll
